EAST PERTH

PERTH De­tec­tives are seek­ing as­sis­tance with their in­ves­ti­ga­tion into a rob­bery at a Hay Street East Perth liquor store on Satur­day, August 19. About 8.40pm, two men en­tered the store and took a car­ton of beer each be­fore walk­ing out of the store with­out at­tempt­ing to pay. A staff mem­ber fol­lowed the men out of the store, ask­ing them to re­turn the al­co­hol. One of the men put his al­co­hol on the ground and walked away, while the sec­ond man be­came ag­gres­sive and punched the em­ployee, then threw the car­ton of beer at the em­ployee. Both men left the area and walked down Ben­net Street. Po­lice re­leased CCTV im­ages of two men who they be­lieve may be able to as­sist them with their in­quiries.
